Skid Row, Poison, Extreme in 80s Guitar Hero
Stock up on the Aqua Net, would-be rockers: It's "big hair" day at Joystiq. Why are we teasing out our locks? Why, to mark the release of seven more songs to be included on Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, of course. It's called synergy. Anyway, here are the songs:
"18 and Life" (as made famous by Skid Row)
"Bathroom Wall" (as made famous by Faster Pussycat)
"Lonely is the Night" (as made famous by Billy Squier)
"Nothing But a Good Time" (as made famous by Poison)
"Play With Me" (as made famous by Extreme)
"Shaken" (as made famous by Eddie Money) [We're assuming they mean "Shakin'"]
"Synchronicity II" (as made famous by Police)
In other brand synergy news, the game apparently has Encore in the title, which we bet will become a common way way to denote GHs that offer new songs without gameplay or graphical improvements. Look for Guitar Hero Encore: Looking to Pad Our Q3 Numbers, coming in late June ... or, you know, whenever Activision wants some money. If you've got a short memory, you can check out the previously announced seven songs after the break.
"I Wanna Rock" (by Twisted Sister)
"I Ran" (by Flock of Seagulls)
"Round and Round" (as made famous by Ratt)
"I Want Candy" (as made famous by Bow Wow Wow)
"Metal Health" (as made famous by Quiet Riot)
